Plasticizer Databook contains data on selection of the most important plasticizers in use today. The selection includes 375 generic and commercial plasticizers. The generic plasticizers contain data for particular chemical compound from numerous sources and these generic plasticizer tables usually contain the most extensive information. The commercial plasticizers include only data given by plasticizer manufacturers. This allows comparison of properties of commercial plasticizers coming from different sources.

Plasticizer Databook was developed to contain data required in plasticizers application. Attempts were made to include plasticizers used in various sectors of industry to provide information for all users and to help in finding new solutions. Plasticizers included in the book differ from solvents by boiling point, which is above 250oC, but some plasticizers are used as temporary plasticizers or are expected to react with other components of mixture. These substances will not meet the boiling temperature criterion but will still be included since they play role of plasticizers.

The tables in the book are divided into five general sections: General information, Physical properties, Health & safety, Ecological properties, and Use & performance. Only available fields for particular plasticizer are included in the individual tables.

Use & Performance section contains the following information: Manufacturer, Recommended for Polymers, Recommended for Products, Outstanding Properties, Limiting Oxygen Index, Tensile Strength at different concentrations of plasticizer, Ultimate Elongation at different concentrations of plasticizer, Elastic Elongation, 100% Modulus at different concentrations of plasticizer, Brittle Temperature at different concentrations of plasticizer, Low Temperature Flexibility at different concentrations of plasticizer, Clash-Berg at different concentrations of plasticizer, Shore A Hardness at different concentrations of plasticizer, and Volatility at different concentrations of plasticizer and different temperatures.

This book is an excellent companion to the Handbook of Plasticizers because data in the Plasticizer Databook do not repeat information or data included in the Handbook of Plasticizers.
